The Cookie Rookie

It's official. The Instant Pot can do it all. You can use this handy kitchen gadget to whip up practically your whole Thanksgiving meal this year. Yes, we are serious. It can handle your meat — whichever you prefer — your side dishes, your sauces, and even your desserts. You just might need to have a few Instant Pots on hand to do all the work.

If you're ready to start creating an complete Instant Pot meal for Thanksgiving, we've found 17 recipes that should cover all your bases. The only dish you might need to still use your oven for is the rolls! But it feels like one of the future Instant Pot models will have figured out how to bake those, too.
